Which organ works—original or transcriptions—feature a broad, gradual crescendo from the softest whisper (ppp) to a blazing tutti (fff)?

I really love Cortège et Litanie by Marcel Dupré and Apparition de l’Église éternelle by Olivier Messiaen.

Besides the essential work by Marcel Dupré, which can be a bit austere, what are your favorite pedagogical books for getting familiar with organ improvisation (both tonal and modal)?

There is the “course” by Lionel Rogg, which is quite good. What are your personal favorites?

Thank you!
