Are these passages possible for a solo french horn? The tempo is Andante (quarter note = 90 bpm).

 

I know brass instruments have some limitations (like any instruments), but I'm not very acquainted with it... =/

 

(Sorry horn players if this post sounds like understimation, that's not the aim!)

If this is C (non transposed) it's way too high for horns.

When transposed (in F) I dare to believe it's possible although I would consult with a top horn player first. The skilled hornist comfortably plays up to C6 (not to begin a passage with this tone, though) which of course sounds a fifth lower (an F5).
