Scott, I just do the opposite, using a single high F for those pieces
requiring extremely light tone (Haydn, Bach, Haendel), but with my
regular deep conical small rimmed 5 mms bore mouthpiece, to achieve an
acceptable tone quality (for my ears). When I had not adapted to that 5
mms bore mouthpiece
That arpeggio isn't too difficult. Just use lots and lots of air and it'll
just pop out. The high Bb isn't really that far off from the D.

When playing music like this (high Haydn or Bach) with
a smaller, lighter-sounding orchestra, you should use
a double-descant or high F horn. The double's sound is
too "present." I use a screw-rim mouthpiece, and so I
change the cup to a shallower, smaller-bore size for
lighter, soft, high material
This article only tells me that hornists must be more intelligent and/or
sensitive than trumpeters... ;>

This horn is from Uhlmanns latest period between 1870-1898. The horn is
made maximum conical with just the two cylindrical pieces between the
valves, which are rotary valves set in triangular order. A rare old horn
regarding Uhlmann, but not extremely rare regarding the valve
arrangement.

If you have access to a descant horn it will make your life a lot easier!
Otherwise, if the arepeggio is slow, perhaps you could fake it and sing the
note? I once sang an A below your D for 12 counts at fortissimo during a
concert. I had a lot more to play after that. For all the effort of scre
I have heard it played many times, but have not played it myself. The arpeggio is
played mezzo forte and can be played with a decresendo. Thus the last note can be
ghosted or 'pinched'. Regards

Reminds me of the old trick of 'half-valving' to get the c3 on an 8D we
messed with way back in college. I haven't tried that for many
yearsanyone remember the technique?

Frankly, I'd prefer not to risk that in a concert. I listened to a
Concertgebouw recording (Harnoncourt), and I'm sure that their 1st
horn is not playing that note. How to manage it?<
