correction - sorry, I made an error on the history. The pas de deux was originally just a concert piece, first performed by Petipa & Amalia Ferraris in 1859. When Petipa revived "Satanella" for Alexandra Vergina in 1868 the pas de deux was added for her performance to the third act, where it remained for many years.

This pas de deux was added to the ballet "Le Diable amoureux" (known in Russia as "Satanella") by Petipa to music by Cesare Pugni in 1859. It was added especially for the ballerina Amalia Ferraris.
In Imperial times the pas de deux was known as "Le Carnaval de Venise - La fascination", though today - mostly outside of Russia - it is called the "Satanella PDD". The reason it is called "Le Carnaval de Venise" was because Pugni based the music on Paganini's violin piece "Carnevale di Venezia".
