How to play the A11 chord on piano

Split the recommended voicing between the hands: play A2 and G3 with the left hand and D4 and B4 with the right. Suggested fingering is 5–1 on the left and 1–5 on the right (1 is the thumb). This practical voicing omits the third and perfect fifth (C# and E) so the third does not clash with the eleventh.
