If one sits down and pens an autograph quietly, away from any instruments (and away from Finale/Sibelius, LOL) isn't he making music? It is music even before any sound is ever executed!

This matter is not clear cut at all.
There is a highly prevalent school of thought which holds that music is not music until it is played, or turned from notation into sound.
I actually think this may be the most common view.
