Abstract
In these notes we consider relation between conformal blocks and the Nekrasov partition function of certain \( \mathcal{N} = 2 \) SYM theories proposed recently by Alday, Gaiotto and Tachikawa. We concentrate on \( \mathcal{N} = {2^*} \) theory, which is the simplest example of AGT relation.
