How to play the Bmaj11 chord on piano

Split the recommended voicing between the hands: play B2 and A#3 with the left hand and E4 and C#5 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 (D# and F#) so the third does not clash with the eleventh.
