First, finger the C# using the right hand little finger. Keeping the right hand on the clarinet and not ever removing it, move the left hand to throat A fingering, keeping at least the 3rd finger of the left hand on the clarinet. Now, slowly, move from the A fingering to the C# fingering ( you will be moving only two fingers and your thumb in the left hand.) Do this in a very structured, rhythmic manner, perhaps thinking very, very even 16th notes. Practice this movement until you can gain some speed in the change from one note to the other. Even if it never gets super fast, if you are playing this efficient motion evenly and with clarity, it will do very well. By the way, a trill covers only the pitch distance of a step or a half step. Technically what is being asked of you in the music is called a "tremolo". We've all seen these passages in music that prove one thing: many composer don't understand very well the fingering complexities of the instrument.
