RAG TIME. A modem term, of American
origin, signifying, in the first instance, broken
rhythm in melbdy, especially a sort of continuous
syncopation. 'Rag time tunes' is a
name given in the States to those airs which
are usually associated with the so-called coon
*
songs or lyrics, which are supposed to depict
negro life in modern America. f. k,
RAIF, OsKAR (born July 31, 1847, at
ZwoUe, in Holland, died July 29, 1899, in
Berlin), was a pupil of Tausig, and occupied a
post as pianoforte teacher in the Royal Hochschule
at Berlin, with the title ofKoniglicher Professor,
from 1875 till the time he died. h. v. h.
RAIMONDI, Ignazio, Neapolitan violinist
and composer. The date of his birth is unknown,
but, judging by the fact that he went to
Amsterdam in 1760, and there produced his
first compositions, we may infer that he was
born about 1735 or 1740. He died in London
at his own house, 74 Great Portland Street,
January 14, 1813. During his residence in
Amsterdam he established periodical concerts,
and produced Ms symphony entitled *The
Adventures of Telemachus.' From Amsterdam
he went to Paris, where his opera, La Muette,'
'
was performed, and about 1790-91 he came to
London, where he received sufficient encouragement
to induce him to make it his permanent
home. His compositions became very popular
in England, particularly a symphony entitled
*
The. Battle.' On June 1, 1791, he gave a
benefit concert at the Hanover 'Square Rooms,
at which he figured both as violinist and composer
; he was assisted by Signer Pacchierotti,
Madame Mara, Lord Momington, and Monsieur
Dahmer (vide Morning Ghromde^ June 1,1791),
The following year he gave a series of subscription
concerts at Willis's Rooms, and at these
he both played solos and led the orchestra.
Emanuele Barbella is said to have taught
Raimondi the violin, but whether this be fact
or no, we may infer from Dr. Bumey's remark
{Bistory of Music, vol. iii.), *The sweet tone
and polished style of a Raimondi,' that this
artist's technique was of the then greatly admired
Tartini school, Raimondi's published
compositions include two symphonies—besides
the 'Telemachus' above mentioned, a number
of quartets for two violins, viola, and violoncello,
two sets of six trios for two violins and
violoncello, and some sonatas for two violins,
violin and violoncello, and violin and viola.

RAIMONDI, PiETRO, was bom at Rome of
poor parents Dec. 20, 1786. At an early age
he passed six years in the Conservatorio of the
Piet^ de' Turchini at Naples, and after many
wanderings, mostly on foot—from Naples to
Rome, from Rome to Florence, from Florence to
Genoa—and many years, he at length found an
opportunity of coming before the public with an
opera entitled *Le Bizzarrie d'Amore,' which was
performed at Genoa in 1807. After three years
there, each producing its opera, he passed a
twelvemonth at Florence, and brought out two
more. The next twenty-five years were spent
between Rome, Milan, Naples, and Sicily, and
each year had its full complement of operas and
ballets. In 1824 he b.ecame director of the
royal theatres at Naples, a position which he
retained till 1832. In that year the brilliant
success of his opera buffa, * II Ventaglio ' (Naples,
1831), procured him the post of Professor of
Composition in the Conservatorio at Palermo.
Here he was much esteemed, and trained several
promising pupils. In December 1852, he was
called upon to succeed BasHi as Maestro di
