in bar #2 of Mozart's k330

is the trlll played as a quarduplet or quintuplet?

Also if you have any suggestions please feel free to do so

From looking at the music, I would play that as a quintuplet going C-D-C-B-C. 
I'm not to familiar with the piece and have never played it before, but that's just what I believe it ought to be.  It's also what the recording sounds like.

I play DCDCDC (hold the last C longer and then do)......DE. If your fingers are not fast yet, this part is very annoying and if you do not play well, this part really really ruins the piece. The more you practice, you will be able to play the trill easily.

The key is to play the four notes prior the trill (EDCB) lightly and smoothly, and then do the trill lightly too.

By the way, this piece is extremely difficult to play well and musically. That is why many professional uses this piece as their competition piece.

I play DCDCDCDE as well. I recall that when I learned this sonata I had trouble making the G after the trill being super-precise ontime with the left hand at fast tempo. Had to work on it.

One tend to think that as it's in C it'd be easy cake, but as nyonyo said, it's very hard to play musically, interestingly.

But is it okay to play it as a quintuplet like what xxmynameisjohnxx said?

I think it would be okay, but it wouldn't sound as good.  Now that I'm further into my own Mozart Sonata, I can say that the trills sound better when fully realized rather than only played minimally.  Mozart is all about the sound created, and I think, now, that it would be better to gain control over playing the full trill.
