I would assume the timbre trill would be much like those in Berio's Requies. I would suggest playing the high G# on th B horn trilling between 2 and 2-3. The difference in fingerings will give a change in sound on the same note. As for that solo, good luck. I would personally talk to the composer (or conductor if you cant get to the composer), you can only help him/her by explaining that it is not ideal for the horn. Hope this helps Stuart
