Ron, there is some confusion on your side. If you talk about
the "high F" in the introduction of Rheingold, I would say,
that there is no high F "on second space below trebble clef
lines", as you said. The beginning MUST be played as
written, talking about the main motif. Later on, when the
waves go up down one after the other & all playing the same
but like a canon, well, tongueing the highes note softly, to
make it secure, no problem. But it must be done in a way,
that nobody could feel the high F (on the top line) as a
separate entrance.
If you have difficulties getting from the first note (bb one
octave below trebble clef) to the next note (f below trebble
clef), you should check about your mouthpiece (perhaps too
tiny) & your embouchure (missing low horn technique or be
too stiff or playing with too much air or cramping).
Here how it goes best: (B = Bb-side; F= F-side)
F1 - Bb0 - F1 - Bb12 - F1 - F1 - B12 (Bb - f - bb - d1 - f1
- bb1 - d2)
And the other longer & higher motif
F1 - Bb0 - B12 - F1 - F1 - F0 - B1 (Bb - f - d1 - f1 - bb1 -
d2 - f2)
The switch forth & back will give you an additional "kick in
the back" to jump up to the next note, besides the provided
better security & the better intonation.

on the intro is it ok to lightly tongue the high F on the
Bb(second space below treble clef lines) or is that a must
slur?
