As an English horn player, I often run into the composers that want to rush through some of my solos. My professor in my Bachelors and Masters taught me to memorize all of my solos, and stare the conductor down as I play them. If I wanted to change the tempo, add rubato, etc, I could easily do it, as long as I didn't take my eyes off him. It's worked numerous times, from Dvorak 9 to American in Paris, and even in something as simple as the "Do You Want To Build a Snowman" solo in the Suite from Frozen.
