  姚先生原名濟良,一九二一年一月十日生於浙江杭州,在癌症病魔的苦纏下,終於一九八三年三月十八日,結束了他六十二年的短暫人生。自幼受庭訓薰陶,熱愛絲竹之樂,青年時代因聽二弟習彈汪建侯所授《陽關三疊》及《石上流泉》二曲,遂受啟蒙,自行摸索按彈,興趣益增。一九四七年姚丙炎以熱誠求學之態,拜浙派著名琴家徐元白先生門下,獲益之深,對他日後從事「打譜」工作奠定了堅實的基礎。一九五一年,姚丙炎舉家遷居上海,與滬上琴人相往還,並參加了今虞琴社的活動,應吳振平先生倡議整理出《琴曲鉤沉》系列。其琴學之重要著述還有《唐陳拙論古琴指法》及其一百二十五條注釋;《唐宋元五家指法釋注》;《琴曲統計》;《古琴指法》……等等,均在國內外有一定影響。
