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

Sometimes rotary valves can get gummed up by slide grease that gets into the rotor assembly during oiling. If that happens, you can use Varsol to wash the grease residue out of the valves, without taking anything apart other than pulling out the slides. That will get the valves moving freely
