Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

ossia: its like a different version of a set of notes!. usually its simpler!.

allegro molto: yes it's the same as molto allegro!. :)

bow'r: this is actually a poetic word!. it stands for bower!. and in poetry it usually means a summerhouse or country cottage, though it could also mean a bedroom or a lady's private room!. literally it's a shady place under a tree or some climbing plants!. here's a selection where they use bow'r!.

Could I find some peaceful bow'r
Where sin hath neither place nor pow'r;
This traitor vile, I fain would shun;
But can not from His presence run!.

notice the apostrophe usually stands for stands for a missing letter!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ossia: It's an alternative piece in a musical libretto!. So, say that the original was too hard for the pianist or they wanted to go with a lighter sound, instead!? They would play an ossia, which is usually provided right above the original!.

Allegro Molto: A tempo term meaning "very fast and bright", or that of a march, at least!.

I'm not at all sure about bow'r, though!. I think it might just be a word, nothing musical, but I don't really know!.

I hope that this has helped!
