梁在平（1910-2000），箏樂作曲家、演奏家與教育家。出生於河北高陽。書香世家，造就其溫雅之性情。1924年入北平四存中學，接觸古箏，開啟了他的箏樂人生。1938年出版的《擬箏譜》，是第一本編著附指法之箏譜。1945年赴美留學時期，成為第一位登上美國紐約都夢電視台演出的箏樂家。1949年抵臺，創立琴韻箏聲齋培育箏樂人才；1953年籌組中華國樂社，任理事長達十三屆之久；在1970年代受邀於美國卡內基音樂廳與林肯中心演出，堪稱創舉。梁在平有著臺灣古箏之父美名，除了教學、推廣之外，還大量寫作箏樂，共約43首，援引琵琶、日本箏、伽倻琴的演奏指法，豐富表現力，在百家爭鳴的箏藝流派中，獨樹一格，《平園箏詩》、《憶故人》、《奮起之歌》為代表傑作。1992年，獲頒行政院文建會國家文化獎。

LIANG Zai-Ping was born in Gaoyang, Hebei in 1910. He was an international artist who was adept at music, Chinese calligraphy, photography, painting and public relations. He is often called “the father of the Chinese zither (guzheng).” He popularized the guzheng internationally and is one of the most representative people in Chinese guzheng music. Liang is the greatest guzheng master of the 20th century. “TIME” magazine once called him the “Debussy of Chinese music.” His book for learning guzheng, “Imitating Guzheng Notation,” was the first book in China to ever put actual fingerings in scores for guzheng, which is extremely helpful for beginners. Liang passed away in 2000.
