For example Grieg's "Peer Gynt" has several such switchings. I played this a few months ago (the complete work, in a big theater with actors, dancers etc--a real fun for an amateur orchestra), and I was at ease using my daughter's instrument: a Hoyer Bb horn with F extension, with a smaller throat making stopping easy, and a stopping valve.
