How to play the F#maj11 chord on piano

Split the recommended voicing between the hands: play F#2 and E#3 with the left hand and B3 and G#4 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 (A# and C#) so the third does not clash with the eleventh.
