Remember that in any 18th century concerto, the cadenza is almost never written by the composer, rather it is left up to the soloist to improvise. Printed editions of this music often supply cadenzas for players not adept at improvisation, but the soloist is under no obligation to play them.
You may compose your own cadenza, or you may adapt the given one any way you like. I suggest you play the written cadenza as fast as you are able but no faster, and don't worry about what the written note values are.
Clarinetist, composer, arranger of music for clarinet ensemble
