the Bach Cello Suites are widely regarded as among the best music written for a solo instrument, and as a result they have been transcribed for a wide variety of other instruments, including viola. This Barenreiter Urtext edition for viola solo is edited by Chung Park.

Great service. I forget her name, but she knew right away to steer me to the correct edition with almost no fingerings or bowings! Love it. However..there seems to be some controversy over a few notes here and there compared to the Schirmer edition I somehow lost while busking(!)

A Fine Viola Transcription of Bach’s Cello Suites

My “go to” edition of the Bach Cello Suites (viola transcription) is the Peters Edition, not just for the editing itself but for the superb introduction. The Barenreiter Edition is also excellent, but the introductory and analytical information is minimal. Both editions have good versions of the 5th and 6th suites in their original versions as well as adapted versions for normal tuning and number of strings.
