How to play the E11 chord on piano

Split the recommended voicing between the hands: play E3 and D4 with the left hand and A4 and F#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 (G# and B) so the third does not clash with the eleventh.
