How to play the Abmaj11 chord on piano

Split the recommended voicing between the hands: play Ab2 and G3 with the left hand and C#4 and Bb4 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 Eb) so the third does not clash with the eleventh.
