DKB suggests a date of 1822, but the plate number suggests something closer to 1818. Then again, the plate table isn't that consistent in those years, and from contemporary publications Kuhlau may have been closer to opus 6 around 1818 and opus 42 around 1823, suggesting 1822 might be more accurate after all.

Plus, AMZ Oct.1822 Intelligenzblatt lists it so not -later- than 1822, so probably yes.
