What's the tempo?
In general, my attitude, admittedly musically irresponsible, is that when composers write unplayable things, they deserve whatever the player manages, however bizarre. If the tempo were slow enough, the passage looks barely do-able if hugely ungraceful. At a faster tempo, you might have to ignore the 1/2-step instruction and find keys that will produce some kind of trill for a block of notes at a time. If the whole ensemble is doing this, it may qualify as an effect that doesn't depend on literal reading.
But I don't know the piece, so have no concrete idea about how to do the passage.
