This theme and variations is cast in an arch form, beginning with a slow, lyrical melody in the low register of the clarinet, then gradually expanding the range and increasing rhythmic and melodic activity. It then recedes to a quiet close.

The title Clarolin is a fabricated term using the first four letters of clarinet and the last four letters of violin.
