What does this mean we do on the horn? First time ever seeing this

(I’m talking about the first line, g to f# concert)

That marking for a tremelo.
I've had conductors ask for 16th note style of a passage,

Hope that helps

I read this as alternating G-F# sixteenth notes for 2 beats.

Regards, Stuart.

It's a way of notating a measured 16th-note trill.

Play sixteenth-notes (denoted by the double-beams), alternating G and F#, starting on G, for the duration of a half-note (denoted by the open note-heads). Continue the same thing for each time the symbol appears.

-----------------------------
In the illustrated example, is the trill done for 2 beats, and then repeated with an articulated start for the following 2 beats?
How would a 4 beat trill be written?

Most Important Note ? - the next one !
KNOW (see) what the next note is BEFORE you have to play it.
PLAY the next note 'on time' and 'in rhythm'.
Oh ya, watch the conductor - they set what is 'on time'.

This is a shortcut notation. Play it as semiquavers (16th notes to those who don’t use the queens English) and articulate each minim (half note) as indicative. There is no slur joining the notes.

It’s a very standard notation, used all the time in string writing.
